Should You Pull the Brake When Starting a Motorcycle?

Before starting a motorcycle, do not press the brake. Press the clutch, shift into gear, then release the clutch and throttle to start moving. However, when starting a scooter, you need to pull the brake because scooters do not have a clutch and rely entirely on the throttle to control movement. This design is purely for safety reasons. If you start the engine without pulling the brake, the vehicle may lurch forward unexpectedly, which is very dangerous. Therefore, pulling or stepping on the brake while starting ensures safety. If you are experienced, you can disconnect the two brake wires, allowing you to start the engine directly by pressing the ignition switch. The electric start circuit of a scooter is designed to be linked with the brake circuit. During electric start, you must engage the brake (either the front or rear brake) to complete the start circuit. Otherwise, pressing the electric start switch will have no effect, and the starter motor will not receive power. The principle is the same whether you pull the front brake or step on the rear brake during electric start—either one will work. If one of the brakes does not respond, it may be due to a faulty brake switch, improper installation, or being too loose to complete the circuit. In such cases, inspect, adjust, or replace the brake switch.

What is the displacement for an engine with 92kW power?

92 kilowatts equals 125 horsepower. Introduction to horsepower: The concept of horsepower as a unit was named by James Watt, the improver of the steam engine, to represent the power of his steam engine relative to the pulling power of horses. It is defined as "the power of a horse that can pull 33,000 pounds and move at a speed of one foot per minute," with the standard units being watts (W) or kilowatts (kW). Engine power: Engine power refers to how quickly the engine performs work. The work done by the engine per unit time is called the engine's power. Corresponding to indicated work and effective work, it is termed indicated power and effective power (output power), with the difference between the two called mechanical loss power.

Why does fuel consumption increase after changing transmission oil?

The reasons for increased fuel consumption after changing transmission oil are as follows: Insufficient tire pressure and tire wear: Insufficient or low tire pressure increases friction between tires and the ground, resulting in greater resistance and higher fuel consumption; Severe tire wear often leads to slipping, which also increases fuel consumption; Poor fuel quality: Pay attention to fuel quality and regularly clean carbon deposits; Poor quality gasoline can increase carbon deposits, which roughens the intake pipe walls, affecting air intake efficiency and mixture quality, leading to a sharp rise in fuel consumption; Regularly check the oxygen sensor: This is a ceramic component located on the engine exhaust pipe, used to detect and control the oxygen-to-fuel ratio; After prolonged use, the electronic fuel injection system's computer can no longer obtain information about oxygen concentration in the exhaust pipe, often resulting in a higher concentration of the mixture in the engine and increased fuel consumption.

What is the tire model of the Cadillac XT5?

There are two types of tires for the Cadillac XT5, which are 235/65R18 and 235/55R20. The first number 235 represents the tire width of 235MM, 65 and 55 respectively indicate the aspect ratio of the tire section is 65% and 55%, that is, the section height is 65% and 55% of the width, and 18 and 20 respectively represent the rim diameter of 18 and 20 inches. The letters or symbols in the middle have special meanings: "X" means high-pressure tire; "R" and "Z" mean radial tire; "-" means low-pressure tire. The tires of the Cadillac XT5 are original Michelin brand tires. If you want to replace the tires yourself, you can follow the steps below: Take out the spare tire and jack, place the jack under the frame of the tire to be replaced, and ensure that the jack touches the metal part of the frame; Raise the jack until it supports the car, the jack should be under the vehicle, check and ensure that the jack is at a right angle to the ground; Remove the hub cover, loosen the nuts counterclockwise, do not completely loosen the nuts, just enough to eliminate resistance. When loosening the nuts for the first time, keeping the tire on the ground ensures that the nuts are turned instead of the tire; Turn the nuts counterclockwise until they are loose, repeat this step for all lug nuts, and completely remove the nuts; Place the new tire on the hub, carefully align the tire rim with the wheel bolts, install the lug nuts, tighten the nuts by hand until all nuts are hidden, at this time the tire replacement is completed. In addition to the model, the tire is also marked with the following common data: Tire cord material: represented by Chinese pinyin, such as M-cotton cord, R-rayon cord, N-nylon cord, G-steel cord, ZG-steel radial cord tire. Speed rating: indicates the maximum speed at which the tire can carry the specified load under specified conditions. The letters A to Z represent the certified speed ratings of the tire from 4.8km/h to 300km/h. Commonly used speed ratings are: Q: 160km/h; H: 210km/h; V: 240km/h; W: 270km/h; Y: 300km/h; Rim specification: indicates the rim specification that matches the tire. It is convenient for practical use, such as: standard rim 5.00F.

What is the Standard Measurement Method for Curb Weight?

Curb weight is measured using the following standard methods: Measurement using a weighbridge: Drive the vehicle slowly and steadily onto the weighbridge. After it comes to a complete stop, measure the curb weight/unladen weight. For trailers, first measure the curb weight of the vehicle combination and the curb weight of the tractor, then calculate the difference between the two to determine the trailer's curb weight. To measure the trailer's unladen weight, first measure the unladen weight of the vehicle combination, then subtract the driver's weight (calculated as 75kg) and the registered curb weight of the tractor. The resulting difference is the trailer's unladen weight. Measurement using an axle (wheel) load scale: When using an axle (wheel) load scale, drive the vehicle slowly and steadily onto the weighing plate axle by axle (treating tandem axles and tridem axles as single axles). After the vehicle comes to a complete stop, measure the axle load. The sum of all axle loads is recorded as the vehicle's curb weight/unladen weight. For measuring the curb weight/unladen weight of trailers, follow points 2 and 3 of the weighbridge measurement method described above.

What transmission does the Talagon use?

The Talagon is equipped with a DQ501 seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, with a maximum transmission torque of 600Nm. A device that changes the speed ratio and direction of motion. Used in automobiles, tractors, ships, machine tools, and various machines to alter the torque, speed, and direction of motion transmitted from the driving shaft to the driven shaft under different working conditions. A gear-driven transmission generally consists of a housing and several gears. Transmission Introduction: The transmission is a gearbox that changes the transmission ratio and direction of motion. It is located between the clutch and the central drive. Its main functions are: changing the driving force and speed of the vehicle (shifting) without altering the engine speed and torque; allowing the vehicle to move in reverse (reversing); and enabling the engine to idle without stalling (neutral). Types of Transmissions: Based on the transmission form, gear-type transmissions can be divided into three types: two-shaft, three-shaft, and compound. The two-shaft type has two main shafts (excluding the reverse shaft) and only undergoes one pair of gear reduction. The three-shaft type has three main shafts (input shaft, intermediate shaft, and output shaft) and undergoes two pairs of gear reduction. The compound type consists of two transmissions connected in series or parallel to achieve more gear positions with fewer gears.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Rapid?

The 2022 Rapid comes with 1 model variant, featuring a fuel tank capacity of 52.8 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission (AT) across all variants, and adopts a front-engine, front-wheel-drive layout. Among vehicles in the same class, the 2022 Cavalier 320 Manual Xindong Edition has a fuel tank capacity of 36 liters, while the 2020 Excelle 15N Manual Elite Edition has a 40-liter tank. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by automakers measures from the tank bottom to the safety limit, with additional space reserved between the safety limit and the tank opening. This space accommodates fuel expansion due to temperature increases, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual refueling volume may exceed the calibrated capacity. To check the remaining fuel level, drivers can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, marked with E (Empty) and F (Full). When the needle approaches E, it indicates low fuel, while nearing F signifies sufficient fuel.
